Hello,
The Noble Pedestal Clock combines functionality with pleasing aesthetics for your home decor. Use it for yourself, give as a gift or sell this unique clock at Arts & Craft venues for extra income. This project features segmented layer construction with a secure mortise and tenon method of attaching the pedestal to the base component.
The project uses just the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. No other bits are required. The Nobel Pedestal Clock is about is about 6.5" wide 6" deep x 12.7" tall.
Main items you will need:
1) The Project Files (included):
• Clock_Face-Back.mpc
• Middle_and_Base.mpc
• Pedestal_Parts.mpc
2) Boards with the following dimensions:
Face-Back: 0.75" x 7.2" x 20.5"
Middle_Base: 0.75" x 11" x 21.5"
Pedestal_Parts: 0.5" x 5.5" x 17.5"
Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above unless using an appropriate jig. Larger boards are fine in all cases.
3) A 3½" clock insert (we used model #15455 from http://www.klockit.com)
4) Sandpaper, glue, epoxy, stain and/or paint and clear finish
5) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted sanding wheels and bits to sand small details and speed up preparation for finishing.
Apply stain/paint and clearcoat of your choice. Here’s what I used on my Noble Pedestal Clock made from Select Pine:
• Rust-Oleum Ultimate Stain - Black Cherry
• Several coats spray Shellac
• Several coats of Krylon Clear Acrylic spray
